for Same, Richmond Area. Project No. 7505-6F8186
WHEREAS this Board, through numerous past resolutions, has indicated its
support for the Wildcat-San Pablo Creeks Project and had requested of the California
Water Commission in Resolution No. 83/1067 that they recommend to Congress a
Federal appropriation of $4,000,000 for Fiscal Year 1984-85 for construction
of the first phase of improvements on Wildcat and San Pablo Creeks by the Corps
of Engineers; and

land necessary for the improvement of the social and economic welfare and quality
of life for the residents of the area; and
WHEREAS the community has expressed and continues to express an overwhelming
support for said improvements; and
WHEREAS the Chief Engineer has reported that the Corps of Engineers schedule
for preparation of the project Design Memorandum and Environmental Impact Statements
precludes start of construction on the first phase of improvements until August,
1985, that the President's Fiscal Year 1984-85 Budget contains only $500,000

improvements; and
WHEREAS the Chief Engineer has recommended that the requested federal
appropriation of $4,000,000 in Fiscal Year 1984-85 be reduced to $1,000,000
to reflect the anticipated delay in completion of the planning process and that
Congress be strongly urged to approve this project for construction and to establish
the project local cost share criteria;
